A team can defend better and create better scoring chances and score less and get scored on more, and win less, and another team can defend like crap, and only score on random bounces from far out, and get more wins. The latter team is not better-coached.

From what I've seen watching the games the amount of times the Flames have outplayed or showed more effort than the other team falls very much in line with the wins and losses in their record, plus or minus a few games.
